Modern science can't create a flower. So why can't you respect that the processes that did create the flowers is a lot smarter than modern science?

Two problems: 1. Nature doesn't regularly create biological organiams unless you mean reproduction, but they aren't created from scratch. It took nature over a billion years just to produce a single-celled organism. Give us a little more time, you'll see...
Given the powers of the so called "intelligent designer", I could do a stupendously better job that what is before us, but I do not have these powers. Even without these powers, we have discovered how things work and we have made the first step by creating, from scratch, self replicating molecules.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
